March to War: 25 to Go?

"That's be two eggs, over easy, hash browns, bacon, and oh, yeah, a side of global thermonuclear war..."  That seems to be the menu this morning as global forces are being put into place for a huge showdown in early March.  But, let's begin at the beginning.

Since 2001, my friend Clif has been wondering about the "data gap" which has been visible in predictive linguistics since 2001.  It's a period which we were hoping would be just a widespread internet outage, or something like that.  Imagine a situation later on this year where solar flares, or EMP attack, or attack on America's telephone switching networks takes down the internet.  Another though was that if he could just "tunnel through" the massive pile-on of immediacy events from March into summer, there would be enough data on the far side to give a picture from the future (looking back) that could hold some hints about what lays in our immediate future.

After publishing his "Future Recent History 2020" report, Clif has continued to run the data while he can, and the results of his further refining can be read in his report posted yesterday: "The Last 26 Days of life..." Not exactly the kind of outlook that makes us want to jump out of bed, and go work toward our glorious future, to be sure.

As you read his report, two things to keep in mind.  First is that Clif is always quite precise in his use of language and Zionist to him is not a religion (Judaism), the distinction being one is a policy of territorial expansion while the other is a religion/belief set.

The second is that his modelspace is comprised of words and so when he looks up all the word primary meanings, aspects, and attributes, his learning of history leads him to couple those words with past historical evidence of "false flag" attacks which have been used historically to justify large wars.

Although he makes reference to the case of the USS Liberty, a subject exhaustively covered in the BBC Documentary "Dead in the Water", the events surrounding a 1967 Israeli attack on a US electronics laden spy ship was described by one survivor this way: "If it was an accident, it was the best planned accident I've ever heard of."

But the USS Liberty is not the only case of maritime provocation being occurring.  Let's recall that it was not until 2010 that the murky historical record, which includes the tacit admission that the supposed August 4, 1964 on a US ship never really took place. But then-president Lyndon Johnson used the false pretext as a reason to sends hundreds of thousands of America's best and brightest into combat in South Vietnam.

Worse, this false flagging (or its first cousins forgery and deceit) haven't occurred in isolation.  A more recent example can be found in the Niger uranium document forgeries, another cornerstone of American involvement in Iraq.

These are only three readily-remembered examples, but there are many more, but rather than mention missing "weapons of mass destruction" and other allegations, or wondering why, when all Americans were barred from flying, closely-connected Saudis were able to fly over America...and some folks are still wondering "If all those hijackers came from Saudi Arabia, how come we didn't go there to kick some butt?"

Fine questions, indeed, but only if you fail to comprehend that what was one represented to be statecraft is really economic imperialism in disguise; often not very well-disguised, at that.

In each of these examples, and we fear in the coming debacle - which hopefully will be no more than an artifact of some code module gone wonky instead of those bright flashes of light that vaporize things - will similarly be caused for a multiplicity of economic reasons.

• To solve unemployment: Sending young people into battle means they must be supported by the folks back home who, because of kin in the trenches, will gladly pay higher tribute (taxes) and that, in turn, will fatten the purse of those who profit from the killing of humans with the War Industries.

• To downgrade the northern hemisphere standard of living: While it is true that America enjoys a fine standard of living, we've been reduced to buying small (mainly electronic) trinkets from Asia and home industry has collapsed, including the home-building industry.  War on American soil causes huge demand for replacement infrastructure.  Think of the profits!

• To thoroughly end global warming potential: A limited international exchange of nuclear weapons would send cubic miles of smoke and particulates into the upper atmosphere, thus, nuclear winter (lite) could easily drop the planet just the right number of degrees to ensure an end for several dozen years, to dangerous industrial emissions.  Those are very what?  Profitable!

• To cover-up evidence of economic crimes: A war would go many miles toward preventing thorough investigation of in-your-face-theft of money invested by Americans in such outfits as MF Global.  Indeed, an outbreak of nuclear war could cause whole pension funds to disappear, since records would be lost and how could such claims ever be reconciled?  The profit from that alone would be humongous.

• To prevent public recognition of a failing economic system: I have for years pointed out the uncanny coincidence of timing of 9/11 which came mere weeks before I believe the American public would have recognized that the collapse of the Internet Bubble really was about as "good as it ever gets."  If you take the Dow's high in Y2K and correct for inflation, you'll see (not counting commission, dividends, or splits) that the Dow would need to be at least into the mid 15,000's range to have equal value.  It hasn't.  And even more troubling questions arise when you read the report over at ZeroHedge about the rise of the High Frequency Trading machines, which have become market feedback implements of their own.  Should they be legal, at all?  Best not ask those kinds of questions, I suppose.

• And best of all: Make tons of money. War causes the destruction of people and things.  This leads to massive opportunity at all levels for reconstruction to occur.  The winners (such as they are in war models) definitely come out on top and hold onto their positions of power and influence.  So if you do happen to catch a nuke going off in the future, don't think "Oh my God!!!"  Try thinking "Ka-ching!" on the global cash register.  Or cash register beeps, if you're under 40.

There.  An answer to the flood of emails I've received claiming we're crazy (no argument) and that all we report is gloom and doom.  Not really.  In fact, I go out of my way to point out that these predicted future events could just be blips in language-use.  They don't have to be exactly as described, although the "ship of state" with the sinking of the Concordia was eerie, to say the least.

Often, though, timing in wrong, since predictive linguistics is anything but perfected.  Still, here's an email just in this morning about an unfilled data set reported a year or two back:

Wow

talk about your crazy web bot hit ("ski the 7 hills of Rome")

(link "Europe deep freeze reaches North Africa...")

Well, yes, sometimes the stuff really works out.  Other times, it doesn't.  I figure the project's hit rate is about 15% overall, but that's so far ahead of "chance" as to not even be funny.  And higher on big stuff; 9/11, anthrax attack, Banda Aceh quake, NE Power Outage, economic downfall in 2008, return of kids to living at home with parents, and that damn "ship of state" business, which just got filled.

For now, Clif is going into semi "off line" mode.  Igor is moving, the servers are going down, and the earliest we could take up the linguistics again would be in late March and by then it may not matter, since there's a chance (15%??) that what's coming will be obvious by then, even if Clif's timing is off.

My role has been rather like that of Dr. John Watson, trying to chronicle the adventures of Sherlock Holmes.  Still, there's a pattern here now, and more could become evident in future weeks.  But while we wait, I'll try to keep on mixing up  equal doses of sardonic and humor to come up with a very different take on things than you'll likely find elsewhere.

My inbox has been flooded with emails like this one: "Has Cliff gone off the deep end? ... So, what is it George? We really facing some sort of extinction event for a few billion people just three weeks away? I urge you, and Cliff, to be responsible, first so those that need to be prepared can do so and secondly so you do not look like a gigantic fool if nothing happens."

By now you'll need a warm-up on that coffee before we go back to the classroom where the present is being rolled out before us...

The simple answer is this:  Clif looks at data.  I look at headlines but I consider his data seriously as it oftentimes (but not always) is right.  I tend NOT to issue conclusions or make dire forecasts.  What I do instead is try to look at the headlines and publicly available trends.  Which gets us "heads down" and into this morning's batch of data to ponder...

War in Syria

Something about the ongoing fighting in Homs isn't right.  True, the US has closed its embassy and has pulled people out.  And sure, on the other side, Russia has sent in more envoys, so the diplomatic dinners won't completely end, but there's something else:  Too many rebels, too well-armed, too well-coordinated.  It's like, under cover of Arab Spring, the West has determined to take Syria which puts us on a collision course with Russia.

But wait!  Is the Western (MSM) media way off base?  Very easily could be since the well-regarded (and we hear headed by a retired general) reports in part at the K-Force website that...

"Limited communications from people caught in the middle, non-Muslims, suggest there is a lot less fighting and fewer deaths. Reports of carnage and massacres of hundreds do not seem to be accurate, except in opposition propaganda media."

And who would profit from such publicity?  Why those industries which make money building weapons for wars, of course.  FTM: follow the money.

Peace in Somalia?

Our news analyst up in Winnipeg wonders...is this an Anglo-Ottoman opportunity?

Dear Mr. Ure,

Is there a subtle plan falling into place concerning Somalia? The UK's "Guardian" newspaper, owned by a charitable trust exempt from death duty, published an article co-written by Osman Jama Ali noting the upcoming London Conference on Somalia to be held february 23rd. Mr. Ali appears to be chairman of the London-based charity SIDD (Somali Initiative for Dialogue and Democracy). Coincidentally the Somali famine was declared over by the UN on February 3rd.

Iran Watch

Some fancy footwork going on around Iran this morning, too.  For one, Iran's president has been summoned by the Iranian parliament to account for, among other things, how the country's economy is doing...which is not so well.  Which is understandable, given the economic sanctions.  Alternatively, it could be to discuss the Iranian parliament's apparent willingness to cut oil exports to the EU.

So far, Iran's putting on airs like it won't have much if any impact other than being antagonistic.

And reader, following all this has a comment on point:

Hi, George --

You make the best (only?) argument on how the initiation of global war would benefit TPTB/W, namely that the financial skullduggery is so heinous -- beyond the heinous we know about -- that revelations of it would presumably unravel the thin wrap of civilization so thoroughly that the Powers would perhaps be threatened. Likely they are already full of fear for good reason ... (How else to explain Romney?)

However... (here it comes) When it comes to Iran's possible catalytic role, you conclude by asking: "What would be the benefit to Iran?" The answer is: Fulfillment of prophecy, with Iran's and the Shi'ites presumed ascension to global (interstellar?) control of all that matters. The New Age of Islam.

Indeed, Iranian President Ahmadinejad (credit my wife) forecast some time back that 2012 would see the 'destruction of the world' and the return of the "Mahdi", an Islamic potentate of sorts from, I believe, the 12th century. Anyhow, I'm no expert on Islam, but I do think the Iranian leadership and especially the religious council that is in control would welcome the conflagration. Indeed, do they not seem to be trying to provoke it? Pretty crazy stuff coming out from that direction... Makes me wonder what is up their sleeves that's not making it into the MSM or other broad conduits.

Keep on keepin' on, George. At least for a few more weeks.

Maybe Iran's strategy is to let Syria take the hit...which is why there have been reports of Iranian aid to Syria being troublesome...

Best Gov't Money Can Buy, Dept.

Seems like the Obama fund-raisers are having to "dig a little deeper" and that means they are moving toward accepting so-called Super PAC money.

While the theory of this constitutional democratic republic is that the people elect the leaders, the new reality is that our leaders are bought and paid for by special interest groups.  Laughably, the money goes into the pockets of the mainstream media, mainly:  But TV and Radio ads, those full page spreads to come in newspapers.

Like, or not, there is a crooked relationship between the media - which profits mightily from the billions spend on campaigns - and the interests of the public in holding government to its original intent: by and for the people.

Proof again:  We the People have been outbid.

Constitutional Showdown?

The leadership of the Catholic church are headed for a showdown with the Obama administration over provisions in the healthcare bill which deal with payment for birth control.

Sovereigns a Danger?

The FBI is out with a warning that anti-government "extremists" opposed to taxes and regulations post a growing threat to local law enforcement.

While the FBI is correct in pointing out violence against police is unacceptable, the incidence of such cases in 2011 (18 by their figures) puts the risk at (grabbing the calculator) less than 6/10th's of one in a million of population. Too high, to be sure, but has it ever been zero?

So two ways to read it:  The conventional way is to warn of a real danger to police.  But at another level is it a warning not to get too serious about questioning authority? I seem to remember that's the one thing governments rely on it their authority and if questioning (or failing to participate in that paradigm) gets too out of hand, you end up with outcomes like Egypt, Libya, and Syria, now in play...we do all have to agree to play nicely together at some level. [Ron: Really? Isn't that WHY Amerika and the world is where it is today?].

I'm no big fan of taxes and regulations, but it's better than anarchy which seems to arise regularly from the disappearance of government when the semi-parental authority figure it represents goes missing.  Outbreaks of socioeconomic tribalism don't seem very pretty, the ones I seen...[Ron: George Ure is clearly YESTERDAY'S MAN. He may not intend it but ignorant support of the status quo IS the problem.].

The Day Ahead  [Ron: Geoege Ure's dependence on "the Market' and all that it stands for, explains his bias and ignorance.].

Expect the market to remain more or less even-keeled this morning, until around 10 AM Eastern when Ben Bernanke will be up on the Hill testifying.

Later on, at 3 PM Eastern, we'll get the new Consumer Debt number.  That will be the first thing into the blender tomorrow morning for Peoplenomics subscribers who get the Wednesday (expanded) content.  Dow was down about 30 points in the pre-open when I looked...like we care about 30 points...

Got the Shakes?

A couple of important items here.  This is the morning of the Great Central US Shakeout being run by FEMA. If your spouse says something like "I felt the earth move..." it may just be subliminal suggestion at work.

On the other hand, in the latest earthquake data analysis from our reader whose initials are Tony Ring, we are seeing a very interesting decline in small earthquakes since about 2006, or so....

Versus an almost corresponding increase in earthquake activity in the 7.0 and greater chart...

If the (5th order polynomial) trend line is extended out 3-years, the 7.0 quakes will be happening at a four-a-month clip.  Which doesn't seem likely, but then neither did Newt Gingrich.

Latest official quake data is here.
